Song: Trouble
Artist: Cage The Elephants

Ash's POV:

"Are you okay? That was some fall," I said.

Gabriel sat up from his bed and starred at me. I raised a brow and looked around and then looked back at him.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"How could you?" He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"How could you keep something like that from me?"

He looked away dramatically and put a hand on his heart. I laughed and sat down on his bed. He looked back at me and smiled.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, all I have is a headache. But it's nothing major," he said.

"Okay," I smiled.

"But ummm.....if you're her daughter then that means that...."

"Yeah," I sighed.

"I'm sorry," he frowned.

"You shouldn't be. The one that should be sorry is my father. But I don't really want to get into all of that. Get some rest. I think it should be okay for you to get some sleep by now. Goodnight," I smiled.

"Goodnight," he smiled back.

I walked out his room and closed the door. I made my way to the staircase but stopped when I heard music coming from the music room. I looked inside and seen Janet sitting by her harp. She then began to play the sailor moon song. I walked in and leaned against the wall. As she played it I seen tears begin to fall down her face. I walked over to her and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered.

"It's okay. I should've been more understanding," I said.

"No, I shouldn't have pushed you away from something that reminded you of your mom. We should help each other with the sadness we feel from her no longer being here," she said.

I nodded. We hugged each other again and with that I went upstairs. I made my way down the hall and was stopped when a door opened. I turned around and seen Tyler poke his head out of his room.

"You okay?" I asked.

"I umm....I'm not sure," he said.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.

He shrugged. I let out a sigh and walked over to him. I stood in front of him and looked up and raised a brow.

"You know you can tell me," I said.

He closed his eyes and sighed. I placed my hand on his arm and he opened his eyes. I gave him a small smile and he returned it.

"I just don't feel comfortable," he said.

"Did something happened? Is something wrong with your bed? Are we too much? Just tell me how we can change that because we...."

"Ash everything here is fine," he said cutting me off.

"Oh.....then what is it?" I frowned.

"I just don't feel comfortable being out of the academy. It's been years and I.....I don't want to ruin it," he frowned.

"Ty relax. You're not ruining anything. We're all happy you decided to tag along. Plus, I heard from Janet that you're her favorite. Just don't tell Gabriel," I laughed.

"She's been really nice and welcoming," he smiled.

"Yeah, but please try to relax. You'll regret not enjoying it when we get back. It's Christmas in less than six days. Embrace the Christmas spirit!"

"Okay," he laughed.

"Now go to sleep," I smiled.

"Thank you."

I nodded and he closed the door. I walked down the hallway and turned to go to my room. I smiled when a wonderful scent hit my nose. I turned around and smiled.

"Were you going to sleep without wishing me goodnight?" He smirked.

"I thought we had enough fun for today," I smiled.

"Oh really?" He chuckled.

"Yeah," I giggled.

He leaned me in for a nice passionate kiss. We pulled away after about a minute and I hugged him. He hugged me back and kisses the top of my head.

"Thank you," I said.

"For what," he raised a brow.

"For everything."

He smiled and kissed my forehead. I smiled and hugged him tighter. After a good three minutes I pulled away and gave him a peck.

"Goodnight," I smiled.

"Goodnight Hermosa," he smiled.

I walked into my room and closed it behind me. Faith was sitting down by the window and smiled when she saw me walk in.

"I'm really sorry for taking off like that," I said.

"No I'm the one who should apologize," she frowned.

I shook my head and walked over to her. I sat next to her and looked out the window. It was silent for about two minutes.

"When my mom died it felt like my whole world was taken from me. My dad never wanted me. My boyfriend at the time cheated on me. And I got diagnosed with all my mental health issues. Dylan and Janet are all I have....so a situation like this hits me harder than it should. But you don't have to apologize."

Faith looked down and nodded. I have her a small smile and walked over to my closet. I grabbed an extra blanket and a pillow.

"You can have the bed. I'll sleep on the window couch," I smiled.

"No, you can sleep on the bed. I'm fine here," she said.

"Faith it's okay," I smiled.

"I feel bad though," she frowned.

"Don't feel bad. It'll be fine."

"Ash this doesn't feel comfortable at all. Plus it's way too small," she frowned.

"I'd prefer you feel comfortable," I said.

"How about we share the bed?"

I looked at the bed and then at her. And then back at the bed and then at her.

"Girl, I don't roll that way. I'm taken," I said backing up.

"Ash!" She laughed.

I smiled and we both walked to the bed and got comfy. I starred at the ceiling and started to think about today. So much happened in just one day. And it's barley the beginning of the week. This is going to be one hell of a Christmas.

"We forgot to turn off the lights."
